Your success as a salesperson depends on your ability to
persuasively communicate one-on-one with your prospects. This is no
major revelation. What you may not realize, however, is that many
of the same skills you learned in Public Speaking 101 are the same
ones you use in selling. The techniques your seventh-grade English
teacher made you use in that stirring oration "Why I Love the
Red, White and Blue" are the same ones you use in "Acme
Widgets: the Finest Made."
